Kamala Harris Illustrates Exactly Why the White House Has Such a Problem With Her

Perhaps no vice president in decades has taken the kind of internal beating that Kamala Harris has taken over the last year. Yes, many people hated Dick Cheney, but he always enjoyed the full support of George W. Bush. Regarding Harris and Joe Biden, you’d probably have to go back to George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan butting heads to find that kind of tension between an administration and its second-in-command.
RedState has chronicled much of the conflict, including the White House’s complaints about Harris essentially being a deadbeat on the job. In fact, the vice president’s “lack of focus” has become such an issue that the president’s staffers have reportedly “thrown up their hands” regarding their attempts to work with her. Meanwhile, accusations from Harris’ camp include her being treated differently because of racism.
And while that dust-up was in mid-November, things have not gotten better. Harris did an interview last Sunday following her awkward blow-up on a podcast host in which she fumbled about trying to answer softball questions. When asked about the top foreign threat to the United States, she somehow managed to only come up with “our democracy,” which I assume was a veiled reference to January 6th. She couldn’t think to list China, Iran, or even Russia. Just “our democracy.”
Then the economic questions started, and Harris was less than prepared in that arena as well.
